54 Mental mess (2/2)

harassing her in such a awful manner. Is that a way you treat her, and is she scared that she never mentions it to anyone? what have you done to her?”

Iven was hardening up.

How dare she!!!

She, who knows nothing about them,....how dare she interfere about them!

Is it even her place to talk?

What does she even know about Iven...Seb? To call herself her best friend so boldly???

”Don't you think you ought to show her some tenderness even if I'm wrong about this theory?”, Erica still received no hint front the opposite individual,” I won't allow her to suffer from the likes of your character if this continues!”.

She uttered the last words pretty bravely.

But it also made Iven forget that it was his girlfriend's best friend in front of her.

she out did it!

And he....can't hold back it in anymore.

His facial expression completely changed.

His eyes turned darker than usual.

His smirk appeared which could scare the devil back into it's den.

With that same personality, he approached Erica.

It wasn't Iven this time....it was Lucifer!!!

Erica froze as soon she met those lifeless eyes.

It didn't seem Iven, it is not him!!!

It is not the soft charming boy she knew.

Is this...the real Iven Seb's been dealing with???

Who is he in real???

Iven reached for Erica's chin, grabbed it and lifted it up to make her face his eyes properly.

It was pin weakness for people.

Meeting his eyes means getting hypnotized and mute.

They'll be unable to argue further.

”I am...”, Iven started to speak. His voice deep and chilly, giving Erica the shivers back her spine,”....26 years in age, whereas Seb isn't an adult yet. The first time I met her, I sexually abused her in the

most brutal way possible which gave her long term bruises all over her body. I am, a leader of a gang and also beat up people for good. My only relative, kills people and we are in a serious conflict. Seb being

a victim more than once. I keep on abusing Seb if she misbehaves. And even after she is well aware of these things, she chose to be with me but didn't say anything such to you. You still call yourself her friend? Are you in any right

or position to be there??? What do you know about her?...about me??? You really think I will allow it if you just say that you will persuade her to leave me???”

Iven cruelly left and dropped her chin.

Erica kept on gaping.

Iven couldn't hold back. Interference without any knowledge, he hated it!

Specially when it concerned him and Seb.

Even if she was her friend, he put an end to it altogether.

Erica was totally frozen.

The only words Iven spoke, spaced her out completely.

Was this the same person she met a while ago with the sweetest face and words?

Was this what Seb's been hiding?

What did she actually miss?

Why such a drastic change?

”That's...” Iven obliged her with a last line,”...not the real me”.

And that's when Erica knew the whole lie she's been living in this time.
